Confidential polling by the Clinton campaign also showed slippage over several days, though their internal numbers were more bullish for the Democrat than the TIME/CNN findings. While the new stats caused some anxiety, they also had a positive side. The impression that Clinton could not be beaten carried with it the danger that some voters would stay home.

While he has so far seemed unstoppable, Bloomberg may be coming into a vulnerable period. The financial-data industry, which grew at the breathtaking rate of 20% a year during the bullish 1980s, has slowed down. Since the stock- market minicrash in October 1989, demand for computerized business data has grown a tame 5%.

A more thorough investigation by FAIR staffers might have unearthed the fact that one of those $10,000 contributions was from Milken, and that the report was prepared by Polyconomics, owned...
